Chu Nan's continuous narration of Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts had already made Zhu Yuanzhang believe 90%.
At this moment, asking this question seemed to be a confirmation.
All the officials in the court were dumbfounded.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Chu Nan was actually right?
Could it be that he had really traveled through time and space?
"It's true, Your Majesty. I'm not lying. Look at my clothes. I don't look like a person now.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sized up Chu Nan as if he wanted to see through him.
After a while, he sat back on the dragon throne and said,"This matter is truly sensational and unbelievable.”
"Chu Nan, if you really came from seven hundred years in the future, what is your motive for coming to this court to see me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not a fool. Even if he reluctantly believed in Chu Nan's identity, he was even more suspicious of Chu Nan's motives.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about what he would do if he went back to 700 years ago.
Of course, he would use all the information he knew to become the emperor.
Therefore, he was even more cautious now.
"Your Majesty, my life is bitter. I came to this era and this place without knowing it.”
"To be honest, I didn't want to come.”
"In this era, let alone not being able to integrate into society, even if I did, I would starve to death sooner or later, right?”
"Even if I don't starve to death, I still want to return to my era. Unfortunately, I can't.”
"I prayed that the heavens would strike me back with lightning, but it actually became sunny in an instant. Who should I reason with?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned extremely ugly, and so did the surrounding officials.
Good heavens, how much did this Chu Nan look down on this era?
He would rather be struck by lightning than stay here?
Starve to death?
Was this something that could be said in court?
If he wanted to go back, he was afraid of starving to death. Wasn't this indirectly mocking Old Zhu for his incompetence in governing the country?
As expected, the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched again. He looked down and asked coldly,"Chu Nan, is my world so unbearable? You would rather be struck by lightning than stay here?”
His voice could no longer hide his anger.
Any emperor would react in such a manner upon hearing such words.
"How should I put this?" Chu Nan thought for a moment and said,"It's naturally better compared to the Yuan Dynasty, but it's still incomparable to seven hundred years later."”
"How is it incomparable?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were already covered with a layer of blood vessels, and his heart was beating wildly.
Chu Nan saw that Old Zhu's reaction was not right and quickly said,"Don't be angry!"
"I'm telling the truth. Although my era wasn't too good and I was still tired to death every day, at least I didn't starve to death, right? And here…right?"
Seeing that Old Zhu was about to speak again, Chu Nan quickly interrupted him."Your Majesty, please let me finish.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, but he eventually nodded.
Chu Nan cleared his throat and continued,"After coming here and realizing that I couldn't go back, I lost all hope.”
"I even thought of committing suicide and ending this once and for all.”
"But I cherish my life and can't do it myself.”
"After thinking about it, I can only come to the Imperial Palace to confess to His Majesty the Emperor.”
"If His Majesty believes in my identity, then I will definitely be rich and powerful.”
"Although accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, I am a future person after all. I believe that I am very useful and His Majesty will not kill me easily."
"Hmm…at least not in the first ten years.”
"If His Majesty doesn't believe me and wants to kill me, didn't we agree to have a quick death?”
"If we're lucky, we won't feel any pain.”
"If we are lucky, we might be able to return after we die.”
"So no matter how I calculate it, this is not a losing deal. I'll take a gamble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the hall looked at each other.
All the ministers were rendered speechless by Chu Nan's 'honesty.' This fellow was truly a blabbermouth!
Old Zhu frowned as if he was considering whether Chu Nan's words were true.
After a while, he suddenly smiled, but it was a very forced smile."You sure have a good plan. Doing business…Do you think this palace is a market?”
"I have no choice!" Chu Nan shrugged his shoulders innocently."Who asked us to have a bitter life? Isn't that right?"
" Hehe…" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.
"You really would rather die than stay in our Big Ming?”Zhu Yuanzhang's words had a hint of threat.
However, Chu Nan had already given up and said generously,"If I were to stay in Da Ming and be a commoner, I would rather die…"
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Zhu Yuanzhang was already gritting his teeth.
Shame, shame!
The world that he ruled over was something that his descendants did not want to leave behind even if they died. How could he tolerate it?
"Chu Nan." Zhu Yuanzhang almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth."What's so good about seven hundred years later?”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers turned their gazes over to see how Chu Nan would answer.
"If you want to say how good he is, he can't be considered as good. He still has some shortcomings."”
"But it is true that he is a hundred times stronger than the current Big Ming.”
"At least the commoners can basically eat their fill. Those who starve to death…To be honest, I don't know if there are any, but I've really never heard of them.”
"Most people can solve their food and clothing problems with a job.”
"Even if I'm old and alone, the country will provide for me. Of course, I won't have much money for the minimum living standard.”
"As for the rest…there are cell phones, games, good food and fun. Most importantly, there is no war, so the people don't have to suffer.”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have goosebumps.
Although Chu Nan said it casually, that was the world he had in mind!
Had he really reached such a level after 700 years?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
He leaned forward and asked,""If what you said is true, the emperor in seven hundred years must be very capable!”
"Tell me, what is his name? How many generations of my descendants are he?”
